Well thats blatantly not true.

 

Its a terrible analogy. 

 

 

It was Lord Falconer, the Labour shadow Attorney General, not just some politician. And about the only time I believe a word they say is when they have been caught on tape unaware and when speaking with their fellow cronies, its about the only time you'll hear a word of truth out of them as Im sure you're well aware. 

 

There is a plethora of countries you could add to that list. Belgium, Norway, Finland, France etc etc The list goes on and on regarding Western Counties that have had vastly varying rules and restrictions in place and generally negligible differences in deaths and contagion cases.  :) 

Ha, who says it isn't true is just as likely to be as true as your story.

Surely you don't really believe what your saying. You think sage, the government etc are keeping us in these lockdowns so they can line their own pockets?

I think there is many facets as to why we're being forced into such a draconian lock-down. 

 

Arse covering for a very poor initial reaction, blame for this can also be laid firmly at the WHO's feet though. 

 

Arse covering for continual cock-ups and wildly wrong predictions. 

 

When you hear it from the horses mouth when they have their guard down then yes, Id be inclined to believe them when they're caught with their pants down and rubbing their hands in glee. 

 

And you just have to follow the money with the Tories. The Track and Trace App and numerous other contracts being awarded to their mates. We're talking billions here.

 

To say that this pandemic has not been used to line their own pockets is at best naïve and at worse self induced ignorance.

There seems to be a change of stance going on here. I guess that's as close as we're ever going to get to seeing a drop of humility.
Some of us have been highlighting the massive failings made by the English government for months now, only to be shouted down every time. Funny how things change .........

Yes you would be absolutely right to lay the blame at the 4 devolved powers but with those totals being: 

101,311 for England

1,957 for NI

6,551 for Scotland

5,032 for Wales

 

One Country in the UK seems to have done much worse (or suffered worst) from the year of delays, ditherings and general cock ups.

My point was that no amount of great work in getting and dishing out the vaccine better than other countries makes up for the cock ups that have led to us having one of the highest death rates in the world. 

 

 

Population density and sheer numbers alone are always gonna put England at a disadvantage statistics wise. My point is you have dripped on and criticised every single move that’s been made since this started. You have slated anyone whom disagreed with lockdown as a tool. The number of deaths are as people are starting to see attributable to so  many other factors than just slating government and non mask wearers etc.

Talk about read into something to suit your own narrative. Nothing changes in regards the arrogance of some.
